Mucho Macho does it again Trainer Bob Baffert admitted to being "in awe" of Game On Dude after he won the Santa Anita Handicap for a third consecutive year. The prolific seven-year-old readily accounted for Will Take Charge by a length and three-quarters to spark talk of a fourth bid for what has so far been an elusive success in the Breeders' Cup Classic. Mucho Macho Man, the short-priced favourite who won the Classic last season, could finish only fourth in the Grade One over a mile and a quarter. Baffert said: "I became a fan at the eighth pole. I just sat there and listened to the crowd cheering and watching 'The Dude' do his thing. He was smoking. "When he gets in that groove, nobody can beat him. "To me, it's an emotional win for the horse. "It kills me when they knock on him, but we came in here quiet and that's the way I like to come in. "I was in awe."
